skills in real life examples that require more than two steps.
I really enjoyed the revision sessions.”

Rebecca

“I learnt new things in Algebra that I didn’t know about. I really
enjoyed the course as it was very helpful. I would like to do it again,
more than once and have another lesson just before the exam.”

Hannah-Jane

“The course was very helpful for revision, getting new ideas and
different ways to work things out. The most useful parts were taking time
by going slowly, answering everyone’s questions, getting good explanations
on why we do things, doing written questions and picking out the important
information from the written questions. The course was really good as I
learnt so much.”

Anna

“Being taught from a different teacher’s perspective was more helpful
to understand. Also using the revision book was good. I really loved how
supportive we all were and how we helped each other. It was useful to work
through the answers on the board with group discussions. The course was very
helpful working one on one with what I knew and didn’t know. Everything was great.
I would like regular, more frequent, classes before the exam and to include
internal tutorials.”

Ruby

“I found the revision sessions very helpful especially knowing how to
attempt word questions and looking how to approach a question and rearranging
it into something I am used to looking at. The mathematics tutoring at Zest
4 Maths was great. I know a lot more now and am way more confident about Algebra.”

Sydne

“I found the revision sessions very helpful. It was useful to recap the
achieved questions to help build up to merit and excellence and go over
questions that I was unsure of. It was easier to learn with a smaller group.”

Taryn

“Very helpful, I have been able to get ahead in maths which has
helped my confidence.”
